Section 3B: General sentiment

Questions 4-8:Plots of General sentiment and Years with the CBO

Findings:

  • Respondents working with their organization for 3-5 years have slightly more positive opinion towards the TB (not statistically significant)

Questions 4-8: Plots of General sentiment and size of CBO

Still waiting for Noah to update size classification standards
Number, percentages of CBOs in size categories
Number Respondants Percent of Total Respondants
CBO Size
  Less than 500k (group 1) 29 64.4%
  Between 500k and 1000k (group 2) 3 6.7%
  Greater than 1000k (group 3) 13 28.9%
  NA 0 0%

Findings:

  • As the median size CBO group has a much smaller sample size, we cannot safely conclude that small or large CBOs have more positive attitude towards the TB in all aspects.

Questions 4-8: Plots of General Sentiment and Minority Status

Number, percentages of respondants indicating minority leadership
# Yes (% Yes) # No (% No)
Minority Leadership
  Our top executive position is held by a minority 25 (56%) 20 (44%)
  More than 50% of our board is made up of minorities 19 (42%) 26 (58%)
  More than 50% of program recipients are minorities 26 (58%) 19 (42%)
  None of the above 5 (11%) 40 (89%)

Findings:

  • respondents’ attitude towards the TB are similar across organizations with different minority status. Part of the reason may be that respondents in these categories overlap with each other.
  • attitudes of respondents from organizations with no minority status are more flunctuated, which is likely related to the small sample size for that group

Findings:

  • 100% of respondents strongly agreed (93.3%) or agreed (6.7%) that the ToolBank positively impacts their CBO
  • 100% of respondents strongly agreed (93.3%) or agreed (6.7%) that the ToolBank reduced costs related to purchasing and renting tools and equipment
  • More than 95% or respondents strongly agreed (80.0%) or agreed (15.6%) that the tools made available through the ToolBank allow their CBO to complete higher quality events/projects without additional funding
  • respondents have comparatively less positive attitudes towards (still more than 60% of the respondent strongly agreed or agreed) the statements that the ToolBank positively impacted their CBO by reducing costs related to storing tools and equipment, and the ToolBank has positively impacted their CBO by reducing staff time to complete maintenance/projects

Section 3E: Analysis surrounding questions

Question: do organizations with higher savings through toolbank report more of a positive impact?

Question: How do savings vary by different toolbank offerings?

Question: What is the relationship like between minority-led CBOs and the toolbank compared to non-minority led CBOs?

Question: where within the organization does the Toolbank impact most?

Histogram, faceted by responded staff versus responded projects– can incorporate “Other” if consistent across organizations X = number (of staff or projects) Facet: Without the TB, what would you no longer be able to fund? (code note: will also have to manipulate data a bit to get this)

Question: In what ways has the community benefited through the toolbank? What are the most prominent types of events (or organization types) the toolbank supports?
